Browns vs. Eagles Game Preview

  1. OT Lane Johnson prepares for “The Best” Myles Garrett

The Eagles will be on high alert for Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett, who has recorded double-digit sacks in each of the last six seasons. He’s big, strong, fast, can bend, has great technique and, according to Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson – is back in the lineup after spending much of the New Orleans game and the Tampa Bay game with a concussion has missed – the best in the business.

“I believe so,” Johnson said. “If you look at how he can move, how big he is: 6-4, 288 pounds and like a Micah Parson and like a Von Miller, the way he bends. He is also very active in running. His skill makes him probably one of the most gifted defensive ends I have ever seen.”

So what do you do with Garrett, the leader of a Cleveland defense that has the ability to be really, really good?

“Everyone has to prepare for him because he moves up and down,” Johnson said. “For him, he’s so explosive on the ball that if you don’t have a good kicking set, he likes to go high and curve around the edge. He’s very good at it. Huge power, huge speed. He’s got it all.”

Washington “completely destroyed him” last week and completely shut out Garrett. That’s the kind of effort needed to keep Garrett from upending a blocking scheme, and it’s something to watch on every play in this game.
